Re: ac adapter question

[Travis Hartnett <travishartnett@gmail.com>]

Yeah, you never want to mix your AC and DC output power adaptors.  

On the other hand, my understanding was that when it comes to
amperage, the pedal will pull only as much as it needs, so you just
want to be sure that the power supply can provide enough current. 
Most pedals use far less amperage than the adaptor recommended by the
manufacturer can supply.
